I had a number of Kumho tires back in the day... a set of ECSTA SPT, a few sets of ECSTA AST, and a set of Platinum LX
They were good for what they were... budget tires. The Platinum LX were a step above budget tires, but not quite the level of Michelin, Continental, etc.
Sure, with a 6-speed manual and a tuned ECU, I had to be a little careful with starting from a stop in the wet with the Platinum LX, but they wore without issues on my Passat, which that platform was notorious for feathering tires.
These days, nothing from Kumho appeals to my needs
